Believe Bush’s lies (damn lies) or not if you will [I don't], but in truth there are people out there plotting to kill us. Put that in your hookah and smoke it. Once you’ve accepted this basic truth, it’s time to get a grip on your expectations. Bush and his cronies persist in the fallacy [...]

Yesterday, I posted about the new National Intelligence Estimate Bush’s cronies trotted out just in time to muddle the ongoing Congressional discussions about an Iraq pullout. This report — created by the office of the Director of National Intelligence and entitled “The Terrorist Threat to the U.S. Homeland” — alleges that al Queda and the [...]

Goldy gets a fun screen grab of Reichert’s website. Note to Reichert’s staff: the phrase I believe you’re looking for is “damn that f**king content management system!”

Name that tune.* (Hint: the band’s first “major” release was Come On Pilgrim) Great piece in the NYT today about how it’s imperative that we continue our efforts to colonize Mars (one of the only things the brain-dead chimp’s got right, even if his plan is a half-baked “lookoverthere”). In 1993, J. Richard Gott III [...]

Alas for my beloved neighborhood — the stretch of 15th Ave that runs (roughly) between Aloha and John.  Former organic food store Rainbow Groceries is being replaced, not by another one-named bar/restaurant as expected but by … the Red Balloon Company? I can only echo the comments made on Seattlest — wtf?

I saw Sicko recently, and I’ve also had a couple of minor health problems (a bum ankle, a bad leg) which have led to my spending more time than I’d like in the doctor’s office.  So — as you know if you’ve been listening to our show — health care’s been on my mind quite [...]

I love this town.

Like a big steaming pile delivered to a neighbor’s door by a petulant little boy, Bush’s disastrous legacy will live on in the form of an increased risk of terrorism.  A recent National Intelligence Estimate notes the increased danger. “Of note,” the [report] said, “we assess that al-Qaida will probably seek to leverage the contacts [...]

Or maybe it’s the equivalent of quickly filling in “Cs” in the remaining blank bubbles of your SAT answer sheet. Israel/Palestine — done: President Bush announced an initiative on Monday to shore up the Palestinian president and to begin building a Palestinian state, signaling that his administration will use its remaining months to make a [...]

My Fellow Americans, fear not: in the grueling battle between the people of Earth and the glaciers of Earth, the people have emerged victorious. The glaciers are officialy retreating. I guess they haven’t raised the white flag since, well, they’re all white and it would be redundant. This is all much less funny than Al [...]
